Storytime at the Lightner  
Sunday, September 14, 2025
10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Ages: 3 - 6 years old 

Join a Lightner Educator for Storytime at the Lightner as we read How the Crayons Saved the Rainbow by Monica Sweeney, illustrated by Feronia Parker-Thomas. Following the book reading, a hands-on craft of exploring the colors of the rainbow and creating a crayon friend will take place. 

This program is for children ages 3-6 years old. Guardians must remain with their children for the duration of the program.

Storytime at the Lightner is a free workshop, but pre-registration is required. Participants should arrive and check in at the front desk of the Lightner Museum five minutes before the program begins. The museum educator will meet them there. The maximum number of spaces available is 10. 

Guardians interested in exploring the Lightner after the program will receive a discounted admission price of $12. Children under the age of 11 receive free admission to the Lightner Museum galleries.

Storytime at the Lightner is a family program that focuses on literacy and creativity. It uses the Lightner Museum’s Education Center or Garden to read, explore, and have fun. Each Storytime at the Lightner includes a themed book read-aloud and a hands-on activity that pairs with an aspect of the book.
